Kefir, which originates in the Caucasian mountains, is a cultured milk beverage produced by a combination of acidic and alcoholic fermentation. Kefir products are commonly used as food vehicles to deliver health-promoting materials including kefran and lactic acid bacteria to consumers. The aim of this study was to develop a freeze-dried starter culture without yeast and assess the suitability of kefir-like dairy products for the growth of lactic acid bacteria and the acidification of milk. Pasteurized whole milk (SNF 8.5%) stored at $25^{\circ}C$ was aseptically inoculated with starter cultures (0.002% w/v); it was kept at $25^{\circ}C$ until the pH attained a value of 4.6. Ten grams of the kefir-like product sample was diluted with 90 mL of 0.15% peptone water diluent in a milk dilution bottle, followed by uniform mixing for 1 min. Viable cells of Lactobacillus species were enumerated on modified-MRS agar (pH 5.2), with incubation at $37^{\circ}C$ for 48 h. Viable cells of Lactococcus species were enumerated on M17-lactose agar, with incubation at $32^{\circ}C$ for 48 h. The pH attained a value of 4.6 after fermentation for 9 h 30 min (Starter 1), 9 h 45 min (Starter 2), and 12 h (Starter 3). The viable cell count of Lactobacillus sp. and Lactococcus sp. was initially $10^5{\sim}10^6CFU/g$; it increased significantly to $10^9CFU/g$ after 12 h of incubation. During the storage of the kefir-like products at $4^{\circ}C$ for 1 4 days, the total viable cell numbers were unchanged, but the pH decreased slightly. The consistency of the kefir products increased gradually during the storage. The organoleptic properties of the kefir products fermented using the new starter culture are more desirable than those of commercial kefir. These results suggest that the newly developed starter culture without yeast could be suitable for kefir fermentation.

이 연구는 내신성적이 우수함에도 불구하고 수능성적이 저조한 학생들이 문제 해결과정에서 나타내는 특성과 수학불안 요인을 분석하는데 있다. 연구의 대상은 인천시 5고등학교 자연계열 2학년 학생 중 내신성적이 상위 10%안에 드나 수능성적(모의수능성적)은 그렇지 못한 학생 5명이고, 이들의 수학적 성향, 수학 성취도, 개인별 특성 등에 대한 사전 면담자료, 문제풀이과정에 대한 사후 심층면담자료, 현장노트, 수학불안검사를 바탕으로 그들의 특성과 수학불안 요인을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 내신성적은 좋으나 수능성적이 저조한 학생들의 수학 문제 해결 과정에서 나타나는 특성은 수학전 영역에서의 개념부족, 공식암기 부족 등으로 인하여 문제풀이계획을 세우지 못하거나 설사 문제를 푼다고 해도 계산 실수, 착각, 부주의 등으로 인해 정확한 답을 구하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. (2) 내신성적은 좋으나 수능성적이 저조한 학생들은 어느 정도의 수학 불안은 가지고 있었다. 불안의 요인은 개념부족, 응용력 부족 등 개인적 인지능력에 의한 저조한 수학 성취수준과 수학 공부시간 부족, 풀이시간 부족 등의 환경적 요인에 때문인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 특히 수학개념이 부족한 학생일수록 수학불안 현상이 심하게 나타났다. 따라서 이들 학생들의 수학 문제풀이 과정 중에 나타나는 계산 실수, 부주의, 착각은 그들의 수학 자신감에 많은 악영향을 미치게 되므로, 교사가 이를 그냥 방관할 것이 아니라 적극적으로 확인하고 지도해줄 필요가 있다. 또 교실 수업에서도 수능시험에서 다루고 있는 수학 내적, 외적 문제해결문제, 추론문제, 응용문제, 통합문제에 대한 문제풀이 경험을 하게하여 수학불안을 해소해줄 필요가 있다.)값을 보였으나, 10,000Hz의 높은 측정주파수에서는 더 큰 $E_a$값을 나타냄으로서 반응온도변화에 민감함을 보여주었다.원으로부터 부유물을 증가로 사료되었으며, 이에 대한 대책마련이 시급한 것으로 사료되었다. 수질이 휴양용수로서 사용하는 데에 적합하도록 충분한 차집시설과 환경 기초시설의 설치 운영이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.TEX>$K_s$값이 높고 $V_m/K_s$비율은 낮아 수게에서 질소가 저농도 일 때에는 다른 미세조류와 비교하면 경쟁력이 떨어지고 질소에 대한 기질 친화력은 약한 것으로 나타났다. 낙동강 하류지역에서 M. aeruginosa가 대발생하는 시기에 수중 영양염의 농도 변동은 M. aeruginosa의 영양생리 kinetics 특성과 잘 부합하는 것으로 나타났다.부분을 보완하기 위한 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 보인다. 연마방법 간에 상호 연관성이 없었다. FE-SEM관찰에서 레진전색제를 적용한 후의 표면은 모든 군에서 대체적으로 평활한 표면을 나타내었다. 4. 동일한 복합레진과 연마방법으로 처리된 군에서 레진전색제 적용 전과 후의 표면조도 값은 M1B군이 M1군보다, S1B군이 S1군보다 통계학적으로 높게 나타났으며, M4B군과 M5B군은 각각 M4군과 M5군 보다. 그리고 S5B군은 S5군 보다 통계학적으로 낮게 나타났다 (p<0.05). 본 연구를 종합하여 보면, 복합레진의 종류에 따라 표면조도의 순서는 다르게 나타났고, polyester strip 하에서 복합레진이 중합된 경우 가장 낮은 표면조도 값과 평활한 표면을 제공하였으며 전반적으로 anishing bur는 가장 높은 Ra값과 거친 표면을 제공하였다.

The $NH_3$-SCR characteristics of $NO_X$ over a V-based catalyst are experimentally examined over a wide range of operating conditions, i.e., $170-590^{\circ}C$ and $30,000-50,000h^{-1}$, with a simulated diesel exhaust containing $NH_3$, NO, $NO_2$, $O_2$, $H_2O$, and $N_2$. The influences of the space velocity and oxygen concentration on the standard-SCR reaction are analyzed, and it is shown that the low space velocity and high oxygen concentration promote the SCR activity by ammonia. The best $deNO_X$ efficiency is obtained with a $NO_2/NO_X$ ratio of 0.5 because of an enhanced chemical activity induced by the fast-SCR reaction, while at the $NO_2/NO_X$ ratios above 0.5 the $deNO_x$ activity decreases due to the slow-SCR reaction. The oxidation of ammonia begins to take place at about $300^{\circ}C$ and the reaction products, such as $N_2$, NO, $NO_2$, $N_2O$, and $H_2O$, are produced by the undesirable oxidation reactions of ammonia, particularly at high temperatures above $450^{\circ}C$. Also, $NO_2$ decomposes to NO and $O_2$ at temperatures above $240^{\circ}C$. Therefore, $NO_2$ decomposition and ammonia oxidation reactions deteriorate significantly the SCR catalytic activity at high temperatures.

This study was carried out to develop a fermented juice using persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb) and lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi, Lactobacillus buchneri BK-1, Pediococcus inopinatus BK-3 and Leuconostoc mesenteroides M-17. The total acidity value was 0.75% and viable cell number reached $1.9{\times}10^8CFU/mL$ when the persimmon and water solution was diluted by 1:3 (w/v) added with rice-syrup ($15^{\circ}Brix$) that was fermented by Lactobacillus buchneri BK-1 for 7 days. Additional levels of rice-syrup increased the total acidity of fermented juice, and the overall acceptability was the highest (4.1 point) for fermented persimmon juice added with rice-syrup $10^{\circ}Brix$. L. buchneri BK-1 and Pediococcus inopinatus BK-3 were selected to ferment the persimmon juice because there total acidity values were 0.83% and 0.80%, respectively, and the final cell concentrations, $5.1{\times}10^8$ and $2.7{\times}10^8CFU/mL$, were more than other treatment, respectively. The total acidity value of persimmon at day 3 of fermented broth were significantly higher than that of day 7 of fermented broth, and the number of viable cell declined from $8.2{\times}10^8$ to $4.3{\times}10^8CFU/mL$. In these results, the suitable period for fermentation was 4~5 days owing to the sourness being strong during fermentation.

This study was conducted to investigate the purchase patterns of processed foods and perception of school dietitians on nutrition labelling in Chonbuk area of Korea. Self-administered questionnaires were collected from a total 156 dietitians. Statistical data analysis was completed using the SPSS v. 11.5 program. The results were summarized as follows. Among the 156 school foodservice systems, 64.7% of schools were operated in conventional system and 35.3% were in commissary system. Among the processed foods, seasoning foods(98.4%) and cereal products(93.3%) were used widely in school foodservice. Among the general characteristics of schools and dietitians, the style(p<0.01), and type of foodservice(p<0.05), career, and age of dietitians respectively affected the purchasing pattern of the processed foods. Approximately 30% of dietitians responded that some fortified foods used for the meal preparation(eg. Ca-fortified yoghurt). Only 57% of dietitians who has more ten year job career was agreed with the important of fortified foods for the menu planning. Despite the levels of education of the dietitians became higher, were no relationship between the confidence on fortified foods and the improvement on health for children. About 96.2% of dietitians knew nutrition labelling of processed foods. Only 25.6% of dietitians checked nutrition labelling of processed food when they purchased these foods for school lunch. The main reason for their checking nutrition labelling of processed foods was for nutrient of products. The dietitians understanding and trust in nutrition labelling of processed foods were not high. But the half of dietitians responded that the nutrition labelling can be helpful for the purchase of processed foods in school foodservice systems. Therefore, it is necessary to activate the mandatory nutrition labelling of processed foods and to prepare its consumer education program for school dietitians.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of moistening and air-drying of acid conditioned dentin and enamel on the marginal microleakage. In this study, Class V cavity were prepared on both buccal and lingual surface of sixty extracted human premolars with cementum margin. These specimens were randomly devided into three groups and three dentin adhesives(Scotchbond Multi-Purpose, All bond 2, Prisma Universal Bond 3) were applied to each group. The specimens in each group were subdevided into four groups (Wet/primed, Dry/primed, Wet/not primed, Dry/not primed) and the etched dentin and enamel surface were treated these four surface treatments prior to the placement of a bonding agent or adhesive. Wet/primed group was simply blot-dried with a damp facial tissue before primer placement ; Dry/primed group was air dried for 30 seconds before the placement of a primer ; Wet/not primed group and Dry/not primed group were not primed after blot dried and air dried for 30 seconds each group. The bonding agent and composite resin were applied for each group. All specimens were exposed to 500 cycle of thermal stress. Specimens were placed in a silver nitrate solution and then sectioned buccolingually through the center of the restoration. The dye penetrations of the specimens were observed with a stereo microscope. The statistical test were applied to the results using a one way analysis variance (ANOVA) and Duncan's multiple range test. The aspects of silver ion penetration into the resin/dentin interface were examined under scanning electron microscopy. The results were as follows. 1. In all groups, the enamel margin showed significantly lower leakage value than the cementum margin (p<0.05). 2. Regardless of various surface treatment and dentin adhesives, there was no significant difference at the enamel margins (p>0.05). 3. At the dentin margins, the leakage values of Dry/not primed group showed significantly higher than that of the other groups (p<0.05). The leakage values of Wet/primed group showed significantly lower than that of the other groups, but, there was no significant difference between Wet group and Dry group. 4. There was no significantly difference between the dentin adhesives regarding the surface treatments in all groups(p>0.05). 5. On the backscatterd scanning electron microscopy observation, the penetration of the silver ion occured at the bonding resin/dentin interface. In the Wet/primed group, resindentin hybrid zone and resin penetration into the dentin was observed. The resin tags were compactively formed to a thickness of $3\sim4{\mu}m$ at the upper part of dentinal tubules. In the Dry/primed group, the thickness of the hybrid zone and the diameter, depth of the resin tags diminished. In the Non-primed groups, the hybrid zone was not identified and few resin tag was observed. There was the gap formation in the resin/dentin interface.

We have developed new type of superconducting-superionic conducting nanohybrids, $Ag_xI_wBi_2Sr_2Ca_{n-1}Cu_nO_y$ (n=1 and 2) by applying the chimie douce reaction to the superconducting Bi-based cuprates. These nanohybrids can be achieved by the stepwise intercalation whereby the $Ag^+$ ion is thermally diffused into the pre-intercalated iodine sublattice of $IBi_2Sr_2Ca_{n-1}Cu_nO_y$. According to the X-ray diffraction analysis, the Ag-I intercalates are found to have an unique heterostructure in which the superionic conducting Ag-I layer and the superconducting $IBi_2Sr_2Ca_{n-1}Cu_nO_y$ layer are regularly interstratified with a remarkable basal increment of ~7.3$\AA$. The systematic XAS studies demonstrate that the intercalation of Ag-I accompanies the charge transfer between host and guest, giving rise to a change in hole concentration of $CuO_2$ layer and to a slight $T_c$ change. The Ag K-edge EXAFS result reveals that the intercalated Ag-I has a $\beta$-AgI-like local structure with distorted tetrahedral symmetry, suggesting a mobile environment for the intercalated $Ag^+$ ion. In fact, from ac impedance analyses, we have found that the Ag-I intercalates possess a fast ionic conductivity ($\sigma_i=10^{-1.4}\sim 10^{-2.6}\Omega^{-1}\textrm{cm}^{-1}\;at\;270^{\circ}C$ with an uniform activation energy ($\DeltaE_a=0.22\pm 0.02$ eV). More interesting finding is that these intercalates exhibit high electronic conducting as well as ionic ones ($t_i$=0.02~0.60) due to their interstratified structure consisting of superionic conducting and superconducting layers. In this respect, these new intercalates are expected to be useful as an electrode material in various electrochemical devices.

Objectives : With recent improvements in neuroimaging and the development of third and fourth-generation radiosurgical dose-planning soft ware, came a renewed interest in using radiosurgery for the treatment of movement disorders. Radiosurgery involves no opening of the cranium and no incisions, eliminating both the risk of hemorrhage from passing an electrode to the depths of meningitis from operative infection. It is for these reasons stereotactic radiosurgical treatment of movement disorders has value in a small subgroup of patients. The authors report four cases of Parkinson's disease and one case of dystonia that were treated by Gamma knife. Methods : Radiosurgical nucleus ventralis intermedius thalamotomy using the gamma knife unit was performed to make lesion in two Parkinson's disease patients. A radiation dose of 120Gy was delivered to nucleus using a single 4-mm collimator plug pattern following classic anatomical landmarks. Patients were followed for a median of 10.5 months(range 9-12 months). An independent neurological evaluation of tremor, based on the change in the United Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale tremor score(UPDRS), was correlated with a subjective evaluation. Gamma knife ventrolateral(V.O.P) thalamotomy was performed in one case of dystonia. A central dose of 150Gy was delivered and the patient was followed for 18 months. Gamma knife globus pallidus interna pallidotomy was performed in two Parkinson's disease patients. A radiation dose of 130Gy(range 120-140Gy) was delivered. Patients were followed for a median of 13 months(range 9-14 months). Result : Ventrolateral thalamotomy in dystonia produced regained left hand usage in order to be able to use the telephone. Ventralis intermedius thalamotomy produced an excellent improvement of the tremor in one case, mild improvement of the tremor in the other case of Parkinson's disease. A globus pallidus internalis(GPi) pallidotomy produced improvement of rigidity and dyskinesia : one other showed no change. There were no neurological complications. Conclusion : Gamma Knife thalamotomy considered a safe and effective technique for the treatment of tremor in Parkinson's disease. Although the results from Longer follow-up is not available yet, the short-term results seem to be encouraging.

This study is a fundamental research to test the applicability of powdered MSWI(Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator) ash melted slag as a seed Crystal for crystallization reaction. Powdered ash melted slag was melted at $1100^{\circ}C$ and ground to lesser than 0.35mm. According to the result of the tests, calcium, enough for crystallization reaction, was eluted from powdered ash melted slag. Moreover, sample(Phosphorus concentration is under 10 mg/L), more than 90% of Phosphorus can be removed. So we rectify the Phosphorus concentration to 100 mg/L. Alkalinity, being well known that it interferes crystallization reaction, effect was studied for synthetic solution(100 mg/L initial Phosphorus concentration, 50 mg/L calcium, pH 8, 1% powdered ash melted slag dosage). For this result, we know that Phosphorus removal is hindered by alkalinity. In addition, the effect of reaction temperature was performed at the same method. The reaction velocity was increased through raising the reaction temperature.
